Dawn of the Arcana, Vol. 1 (1) door Rei Toma

I've really grown out of the rapey-vibes and power dynamic tropes that infest so many teen-oriented romance stories, including Dawn of the Arcana. It's totally okay if others read this for fun, just don't go basing your real life relationships on it, because yikes. I had such an adverse reaction to Caesar that I mistook him to be the main antagonist in the romance between the princess and her servant. But no, it's a love triangle! And Caesar isn't a villain, he's actually the romantic lead, with the servant functioning as a rival but not ultimately a threat. Oh noooo
The world building, at least in this first volume, fell flat for me, too. The art was plain, with pretty but unexpressive faces and non-existent backgrounds. Kind of curious about the to-be-developed magical aspect of the story, but I don't think that'll push me to read more.… (meer)

The King's Beast, Vol. 1 (1) door Rei Toma

I read Dawn of the Arcana when I around 16 or 17 (despite Caesar being way too pushy in his introduction, tho he mellows out), and it is one of my favorite shoujo manga. I was surprised to hear the series got a spin-off.

I feel like things are moving too quickly, but the initial premise is already set up. I’m not dazzled by anything, but I’ll consider reading a volume two to see if it can capture my interest.

SN: There’s a The Water Dragon’s Bride oneshot at the end!

King's Beast, Vol. 3: Volume 3 (The King’s Beast) door Rei Toma

I saw the covers of this manga series and wanted to read this asap

In this volume, the elements of romance are more intense than the previous ones, and though I'm not a big fan of this genre, the story flows beautifully. The characters are loveable and this makes it easier to be a comfort-read.

Or maybe it's due to me having not been reading manga for many months. Either way, I enjoyed the first three volumes (人*´∀｀)｡*ﾟ
